C0NHERCIAL TOADYISn.

There is an organization known as the
Order OF Railway Photographers which is
spreading rapidly throughout the north
west and Is very popular with the OPP
ard Of the profession, mentally, morally
aud socially. Its organic laws are OPP
posed to strikes and all violent methods
Of settling disputes. Drunkenness dis.
qualities any one from securing mem
bec2hip, sni is cause for the expulsion
of any member. 1t seeks to bring mem
bers closer together; teaches them TO re-
spect themselves and their profession,
and encourages a spirit Of fraternity
end good feeling among them. Its mem
bers pledge themselves not to teach the
art of telegrsphy to any one unless under
certain circumstances, but it nowhere
aud in nowise seeks ID interfere with or
prevent those not members who desire to
engage in the industry of teaching tele
graphy. Train dispstchers, who could
see the great good to be accomplished by
the more thorough training aud general
improvement Of those operators who
| have the handling OF trains, approved OF
! the order and in many instances encour-
aged 1t. Railroad mansgers, always op-
posed to any concert Of action among
their employees, found much to approve
and nothing to condemn in it. 1t
remained Cor the Association OF Telegraph
Superntendents, an organization based
upon similar principles, to discover in it
the seeds of viciousness and danger to
the interests Of the country and, in their
lste meeting, they viewed with alarm"
the growth of the order, and dou btless
pointed with pride" to the virtue and
transcendentsl excellence OF their own.
Inspired by desire to make manifest
their undiluted feslty to the interests Of
the railroads which they represented,
they resolved that henceforth and forever
they would labor to crush it out Of exist
ence. They published among their "of-
fetal" proceedings @ transcript of the
ritual of the Order OF Railway Telegrs-
piers, ignoring the fact thst the posses
sion Of such dccl ment was an evidence
OF moral perjury on the part of some one,
and magniied the mares rest into mss
tcdon. There was rush and scramble
to see which of these valiant conser7s
tors should first and loudes. denounce
the organization which threatened rail-
roading with such dire and dreadful c.
lamities. The speeches as reported do
not display any extraordinary amount OF
ability, and the flights OF rhetoric were
not appalling; the enthusiasm and una
nimity IS shown by the result OF the vote
msde up for all delinquencies in other re-
spects. There has been no effort made in

Brutal DoubI, Murder.

LOCK HAVEN, Pa, Aug. 10.-The murder
OF Isaac Colby and his wife at Cherry
River, near the city, proves to be a most
horrible crime, as the inquest developed
the fact that Mrs. Colby had been out
ragged and her death caused by three
bullets from r,volyer. Her husband
was shot through the head. The murder
is thought to have been committed Sun
day morning, as the fact was not discoy-
cred till Monday morning. Both bodies
lay inside of the house where they had
fallen. The only other person about the
place was an infant, almost dead from
hunger. There is no clue yet as to the
perpetrators OF the crime.

BOYCOTTING AT AUSTIN.


According to Austin newspapers the
saloon men of the capital city are BOY
cottirg those who, in the recent
election, voted for STATE prohibition. The
right OF any man to trade where he
chooses is undeniable; but the conspiracy
to injure the business Of men is 81 ex-
ecrable Importation upon which the
people Of this country have emphatically
set the heel CT condemnation. l. Is 3
weapon of the basest tyranny aud has
been found q boomerauc wherever tried.
The Austin saloon men not only cntago-
uiz9 the public detests Of boyc0sting,
but they are displaying tha spirit a.
tri6nted to them by prohibition orators
during the campaign,and are doing exact
~ what prohibition teachers would have
them do II prohibition apostles could
dictate tae action OF saloons they would
have the latter make themselves obnoX-
ious to every fair minded man by boycott
ting intolerance and disregard OF aL laws
made TO regulate the traffic. More than
so per cent. OF the prohibition vote was
au expression OF hostility to the methods
of saloons, and these Austin gentlemen
may depend on it that they are accomm0-
dating themselves to the wishes OF their
opponents. They seem to ignore the fact
that the law does not place the saloon on
the same plane with other lines Of bust
ness, but proscribes it in GER
tain particulars, and that the
prescription of the law is Deepen
dent upon that pu 3lic sentiment which
these Austin saloons seem to utterly
disregard. These boycotters should also
not forget that the men who defeated
prohibition last week publicly declared,
time and again, that the existence Of the
saloon was mere incident of the princi-
pie they upheld, and that there are other
methods than state prohibition for the
extirp.tion of evils which render them
selves unbearsble.
1t rests with the saloon mere tnan WITH
Dohoney to determine and mould
Texas sentiment towards saloons, and the
wise snd discreet Of that traffic should
in protection Of their own interests, hole
in check those in the business who may
be blinded to the true meaning of the re-
suit OF the election as expounded by th(
leaders of the successful party. The cues
ton OF prohibition is settled in Texas fol-
many years If 1T alone: but the saloons
sooner than Dohoney, cen unsettle it anC
endue it with life and strength create,
than it had in the recent election.

ARAn BRFAK-YERY FAD.

Austin Dispatch GRO: a few saloon
men, aided and abGived by lew narrow
minded, bigoted, tanntical demagogues,
have formally declared boycott against
certain locsl merchants and dealers WHO
voted for the prohibition amendment.
The Dispatch in all sincerity advises
the misguided fanatics to retrsce their
steps before they 60 too far. The boycott
is two-edged weapon tina. cuts both
ways. Its presence Is not indigenous 10
American soil, nor will Americans toler-
ate 1t.
Il will be the part of wisdom for the
saloon men to let well enough alone. II,
however, they persist on carrying on the
boycott, let every Prohlbitionist, in self
defense, retaliate. Let it extend not
only to the whisky men, but let it extend
to their friends aud followers engaged N
